4.1 Charging
Charge the device using a USB Type-C charging cable and a power connector.
Charging time is approximately 2 hours.

4.2 Indicator Lights
Next to the power button are three white lights, which are used to indicate the battery level. There is also a blue light above the power button that indicates when it’s time to change the main filter.

Whenever you turn on your Respiray Wear A+ or change the airflow speed, the battery indicator lights will show for 5 seconds. Here is what they mean:

When Respiray Wear A+ is charging, the indicator lights show the following:

67–99%
One solid white light with two lights blinking| Battery is charging and at 33–66%
Three white lights (blinking)| Battery is charging and at <33%

Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning
Before cleaning the device, make sure it is turned off. Then, gently wipe it with a soft, slightly dampened cloth. Do not use any abrasive cleaning products or detergents. To disinfect the surface of the device, use rubbing alcohol and a microfiber cloth.

Be careful not to allow any water inside the device, as this can cause damage. Do not turn the device on before it is completely dry.

5.2 Replacing the Main HEPA Filter

STEP 1: Turn the device off and open the top cover by pulling it up from the left side.

STEP 2: Carefully remove the used filter using the pulling strip and dispose of it as general waste.

NOTE: If the previously inserted filter is stuck with the plastic edge, remove the filter and the filter’s foam. Make sure to remove the foam’s glue on the plastic surface before inserting the new filter. Ensure you insert the new filter straight, not at an angle, so it will not get stuck next time.

STEP 3: Insert a new filter into thedesignated filter slot with the pulling strip at the top.

STEP 4: Place the top cover back onto the device.

STEP 5: To reset the filter timer, hold the power button down until the blue indicator light turns off (approximately 8 seconds).

5.3 Cleaning and Replacing the Washable Pre-Filter
The role of the pre-filter is to prevent larger particles from reaching the ventilators and prolong the lifetime of the main filter.
We recommend cleaning the pre-filter once a month by vacuum cleaning in the gaps of the bottom cover, which will remove any large particles.
The pre-filter should be changed after every 400 hours of operation – or at the same time as every second main filter change. To replace the filter, perform the following steps:

STEP 1: Open the pre-filter coverusing the release mechanism.

STEP 2: Remove the used washable pre-filter and clean it, or dispose of it as general waste if it is damaged.

STEP 3: Insert the cleaned or new pre-filter into the designated filter slot.

STEP 4: Close the cover by inserting the studs into the designated slots and then pushing the release mechanism back into place.

Replacement pre-filters are sold together with replacement HEPA filters and can be ordered from www.specialstore.gr

5.4 Storing the Device
The device should be stored at room temperature (64–82 °F / 18–28 °C) and in a low-humidity environment (30–50% relative humidity). To preserve the battery during longer periods of storage, we also recommended that you discharge the device to around 50% (2 battery indicator showing when you turn the device on or change the airflow speed). Do not store the device around combustible or inflammable objects.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does Respiray Wear A+ do?

The wearable air purifier Wear A+ relieves airborne allergies by creating a clean air zone around the wearer’s face without covering the face or restricting breathing.
